Introduction

For the first time, with the NS360, you can find a speedo and a magnetic compass in one product, along with the all-essential race functions : wind shift indicator, VMG, direction, speed and distance to the waypoints, start line distance and race timer.

Compact (125 mm x 80 mm x 26 mm) and intuitive, the NS360 is lighter (240 grams) than any existing system, wired or wireless. It is also waterproof and robust, being made of bombproof polycarbonate and anodized aluminium. Powered with only one standard AA battery, the NS360 gives sailors accurate and vital information for over 30 hours. It can be installed in minutes and there is no need to drill a hole in the hull or use a wired connection.

We hope you enjoy sailing with the NS360, and encourage you to read this manual thoroughly, to learn about the many features of your exciting new Novasail product.

NS360 Operating Manual 3

NS360 Operating Manual4

The mounting location should be as far as possible from any magnetic objects to avoid any interference with the compass sensor.The NS360 should be mounted as close as possible to the vertical and horizontal planes.

Note : Wherever you mount the NS360, it shouldn’t be flush to any thick surface such as the hull, so that the sensitivity of the embedded GPS receiver is not affected.

Operations

Switching power on and off

• Make sure the battery is installed with the correct polarity and has enough remaining power (positive pole inserted first)

• Press to start the device. A beep will be emitted• Press and hold for more than 4 seconds until the screen displays OFF

and the sequence “3”, “2”, “1” is finished. A beep will be emitted when the device turns off

The device will turn off automatically when it remains in the horizontal position for more than 3 minutes. A beep will be emitted 3 seconds before it turns off.

Note : If the device does not turn on, you need to check if the battery is fully charged, that the battery compartment is dry, and the polarity is correct.

Note : Until enough satellites are locked, the NS360 is not ready to use. For the sub-modes SPI, SPA and TRP and the modes VMG, SLD and WP, the screen displays : ”---”. For the SPM sub-mode, the maximum value is displayed but blinking until readyness.

Note : Alkaline batteries should be used in order to result in a maximum lifespan of 30 hours. When using a disposable battery, it is also recommended to remove it if the device is not used for a prolonged period of time (in order to avoid a possible leakage inside the battery compartment).If using rechargeable batteries, low self discharge rate battery types are preferred, because normal rechargeable batteries lose their stored energy more quickly. Recommended batteries are SANYO ENELOOP, GP RECYKO+ or UNIROSS HYBRIO. This kind of rechargeable battery will last for approximately 20 hours.

Operations

SPeed mode

This mode provides the speed over ground of the boat as measured by the GPS receiver. Several speeds are available through the sub-modes : Instant, Average and Maximum as well as the trip distance.

• Use the arrows to scroll the sub-modes.

SPeed sub-modes

• SPI : SPeed InstantThe Instant speed of the boat is displayed in knots (kts) with an accuracy of 0.1 knot. The minimum speed is 1 knot, and the maximum speed is 99.9 knots.

• SPA : SPeed AverageThis sub-mode provides the average speed of the boat during the past 3 seconds. This is particularly useful when sailing with big waves upwind or downwind with lots of speed changes.

• SPM : SPeed MaximumThe Maximum speed that the boat has reached since the last reset.

Note : For that sub-mode, don’t forget to reset the maximum speed before your next sail begins to ensure the value displayed refers to the new trip.

To reset the maximum speed :• Display SPM sub-mode in the lower screen using the arrows • Press

• TRP : TRiP distanceThe TRP mode displays the total distance made by the vessel since the last reset.

NS360 Operating Manual8

Operations

Note : For that sub-mode, don’t forget to reset the trip before your next sail begins to ensure the value displayed refers to the new trip.

To reset the trip distance :• Display TRP sub-mode in the lower screen using the arrows • Press

Magnetic Heading compass mode

To win races you need to react to even small wind shifts. The NS360 digital compass delivers precise and reliable heading information to help you to tack and jibe at the most suitable times.

The sensitivity of the compass can easily be adjusted to High, Medium or Low by scrolling through the sub-modes.

• Use the arrows to scroll the sub-modes.

Sub-modes of the Magnetic Heading compass :

• MHH : Magnetic Heading High sensitivityWhen sailing with light winds and flat seas, High sensitivity allows you to appreciate very small wind variation.

• MHM : Magnetic Heading Medium sensitivityMedium sensitivity is more suitable for race boats under medium wind and sea conditions. Dinghy racers will appreciate this mode.

• MHL : Magnetic Heading Low sensitivityUnder Low sensitivity more subtile variations due to big waves and sudden gusts are filtered.

NS360 Operating Manual 9

Operations

Note : The magnetic variation of the area of use can be compensated by adjusting the compass offset. Please refer to the Advanced Operations “Compass offset”, page 19 for more details on the compass offset adjustement.

VMG mode

This mode provides the projected speed of the boat on the wind direction. The higher the value, the faster the vessel is going upwind or downwind. First, the wind direction must be set to display a VMG value on the data line. If no wind direction is set, the screen displays “---”. The VMG is displayed in knots (kts).

To set and adjust the wind direction in VMG mode• Press to capture the wind direction as the current heading value.• Adjust the wind direction value with the arrows

Note : Each time you press , the Magnetic Compass Heading is used as the wind direction.

Note : The wind direction may also be calculated from the the starboard and port tack lines if you have already set the values in the WIN mode. (See WIN mode, page 11)

Note : When you memorize a wind direction in VMG mode, the tack lines in WIN mode are updated, assuming that the boat makes the same upwind angle on startboard and port.

NS360 Operating Manual10

Operations

WINd shift indicator mode

Used in Wind Shift Indicator (WIN) mode, the NS360 displays numerical values of the wind shifts allowing an immediate and effortless interpretation. To use this mode, you need to memorize the tack lines on startboard and port.

Memorization of the tack lines :• Sail upwind to your optimal VMG• “D 1” is displayed on the data line of the lower screen• Press to use the current magnetic compass heading as the one of the

tack line directions.• The wind shift value is immediately displayed• Press the arrows to display “D 2” on the data line of the lower

screen• Sail upwind to your optimal VMG on the other tack line• Press to use the current magnetic compass heading as the other tack

line direction

Operations

Note : The sequence of memorization of the tack lines on starboard and port is not defined. You can do starboard then port or vice versa.

The WIN mode displays an angle in degrees which corresponds to the difference between the tack line direction and the current magnetic compass heading of the boat. It displays ’H’ (for Heading) in front of the value if the wind is heading, and ’L’ (for Lift) in front of the value if the wind is lifting. When sailing upwind, you need to sail inside the lifts ’L”.When sailing downwind, the WIN mode will display ’d’ (for downwind) in front of the value of the deviation from the wind direction.

Note : The first tack line memorized is by default considered to be the starboard line. However, if this was the port tack line, the product will understand it automatically.

NS360 Operating Manual 13

Operations

Start Line Distance

Knowing the exact distance in meters to the start line gives a huge advantage in helping you start ahead of the fleet and even win the race. The NS360 start line distance function is the most advanced on the market as it combines a 1 meter accuracy and a dynamic boat offset compensation calculated with the real boat magnetic heading to the start line.The accuracy of the distance is 1 meter but it’s safer to take a bigger margin. The maximum distance is 999 meters.

The start line consists of 2 points “P 1” and “P 2” that have to be aligned with the start line :

• P1 : Commitee boat• P2 : Pin

Memorize the start line points ’P 1’ and ’P 2’• ’P 1’ is displayed on the data line of the lower screen.

NS360 Operating Manual14

Operations

• Press when you reach the committee boat reference point.• ’P 2’ is now displayed on the data line of the lower screen.• Press when you reach the pin reference point.• The distance is meter is now displayed on the data line.

Note : If the start line is modified by the committee, you may be required to re-enter one or both reference points. It can be done by pressing the arrows

to select the desired reference point and to memorize it by pressing

Note : The distance from the front of the boat to the NS360 is called the Boat OFfset (BOF). Please refer to Advanced Operations “Boat offset”, page 20 for more details on the boat offset adjustment.

Note : After the start, the Start Line Distance (SLD) will switch automatically to the mode defined in the SET mode. Please refer to the Advanced Operations “Exit Start Line mode”, page 22 for more details. (The default value of the Exit Start Line mode parameter is “MH” mode).

WayPoint mode

Boats doing Island races are usually turning the same marks but in different orders. The waypoint mode has been made for those who are sailing island races and require information such as the direction, the speed and the distance to reach the selected pre-defined waypoint. Up to 9 waypoints can be memorized : WP1, WP2…to WP9. Each time a waypoint is selected, the direction, speed and distance to reach it are displayed sequentially every 4 seconds.

To use a waypoint• By default, WP1 is displayed on the mode line.• Press the arrows to select the required waypoint, from WP1 to

WP9.

NS360 Operating Manual 15

Operations

• The direction, speed and distance are displayed sequentially every 4 seconds.

To Memorize a waypoint• Press the arrows to select the waypoint (from WP1 to WP9) that

you want to overwrite.• Press to memorize the current boat position into the selected waypoint.• The direction, speed and distance to reach it are displayed sequentially

Advanced Operations

Compass offset (angle of magnetic variation/declination)

Because the angle of variation varies with respect to the geographic position, the NS360 must be adjusted according to the specific location to achieve the maximum accuracy and synchronization between the GPS unit and the magnetic compass. The angle of variation is the actual angle observed between the true North geographic position and the actual North magnetic position.

To compensate for the magnetic variation, you need to adjust the parameter COF (Compass Offset) as follows :

• Switch off your NS360.• Press and the upper screen simultaneously. ’SET’ is displayed on

the upper line of the display.• COF (Compass Offset) is displayed on the mode line of the lower screen• Use the arrows to enter the required variation corrective value The

first digit will display ’W’ or ’E’ for a west or a east variation, and the remaining 2 digits are the actual angle, adjustable from 0 to 45 degrees.

• Press to store the value, BOF (Boat Offset) is now displayed.• Go through all the parameters to exit the SET mode or press and hold for

more than 4 seconds until the device turns off.

NS360 Operating Manual 19

Advanced Operations

There are a number of resources available on the web that compute angles of variation for any location in the world. A “world Magnetic Model Calculator” is available from both the National Geophysical Data Center and the British Geological Survey :

• http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/seg/geomag/jsp/struts/calcDeclination• http://www.geomag.bgs.ac.uk/gifs/wmm_calc.html

Here’s some examples of magnetic variation for different geographic locations : • Hong Kong : 2 degrees west• Melbourne : 11 degrees east• Marseille : 0 degree• San Francisco : 14 degrees east

Boat offset

The boat offset corresponds to the distance from the front of the boat to the NS360. The remaining distance to the start line is calculated taking the boat offset and the current magnetic heading into account. The default value is 0, the maximum value is 99.9 meters and the increment is 0.1 meter.

Example : The real distance between the front of the boat to the NS360 is 3.2 meters. You need to enter a boat offset equal to 3.2 meters. Then, considering that the NS360 is 10 meters from the line. When you face the start line, the displayed remaining distance is equal to the 10-3.2 meters, 6 meters. However, using the magnetic heading of the boat, if you sail parallel to the line, then the display value is equal to the real distance between the line and the NS360, 10 meters.

• Switch off your NS360.• Press and the upper screen simultaneously. ’SET’ is displayed on

the data line of the upper screen .• Press until BOF (Boat Offset) is displayed on the mode line of the lower
